   • 古者富貴而名磨滅，不可勝記，唯倜儻非常之人稱焉。 [Classical Chinese, trad.]
     古者富贵而名磨灭，不可胜记，唯倜傥非常之人称焉。 [Classical Chinese, simp.]

     From: 1st century BCE, Sima Qian, Letter to Ren An. Translated by Burton Watson.

     Gǔ zhě fùguì ér míng mómiè, bùkě shēngjì, wéi tìtǎng fēicháng zhī rén chēng yān. [Pinyin]

     Too numerous to record are the men of ancient times who were rich and noble and whose name have yet vanished away. It is only those who were masterful and sure, the truly extraordinary ones, who are still remembered.
